Hades - Noobus Humanus

[@MontyZander]

“Can you really call her Noobus anymore?” Good question. I think the answer is yes. Here’s why 👇 1 - To this day she still hasn’t actively sought out a game and played it to completion. Yes, even with Hades. She only plays a few hours of games for these videos. 2 - Did you SEE the bit where she ran around looking for health when health was right there!? 3 - Honestly at this point, I’m not changing the name of the series and saying “my fiancée” or “my wife” over and over is less fun! The day she stops being “Noobus” is the day these videos stop. Neither of us want that because we like making them! ALSO Roguelite recommendations (and Greek Mythology facts) below! 👇 ALSO - I've been asked to flag that my future mrs knows that Megara and Megaera are two different people. She pointed it out but I cut it, and because of all the Hercules references she's worried she'll look silly. MY BAD.

[@katmannsson]

Not a Roguelite, But a Recommendation and loosely related to your secondary recommendation request: Titan Quest. Its an ARPG in the vein of your Diablo's came out in the mid 2000s received an expansion pack as recently as 2021, and its based on Ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, and Norse Mythology! My Favorite ARPG of all time hands down.

[@andycic.544]

Deathloop and Prey Mooncrash. Great blends of the immersive sim and roguelite genres.

[@Schwenne1994]

A recommendation that is not really like the games she tried before, but it could be interesting. Although i have no idea where to put the cut of point for it: Outer Wilds

[@cdman2021]

Slay the Spire is good if you guys are into deck building, same goes for Monster Train. If you like rhythm games, Crypt of the Necrodancer or the easier Cadence of Hyrule are great, with a new game called Rift of the Necrodancer coming out soon™️ I love The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon, (I even true 100%’d Isaac 💪) but a lot of the fun in those games is seeing what crazy new thing you find in the next run after losing whatever thing you had in the last run. Side note, the music selection in this video was fantastic, 10/10 no notes

[@moth5799]

Watching it change from "I made my girlfriend play" to "I made my fiancee play" is amazing. Congrats mate.

[@TheDarkChaplain]

Feels absolutely great to see/hear her willing to engage the game on its own terms and merits and embracing it wholeheartedly. It's obvious that the game clicked for her. I've been waiting for this sort of reaction throughout the series.

[@briannaramey7890]

Genuinely my favorite Noobus Humanus video to date! Seeing her enjoy herself so much while playing one of my favorite games was everything! I want to watch her play more of this, it was so fun!

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Hades is so amazing. It's so awesome to see others playing it for the first time. The story is 10/10

[@TheMike0088]

I'm so happy she got absorbed in the game. I think hades is one of the most flow-inducing singleplayer games out there, and it gets an insane amount of focus out of even people who don't usually play games like these.

[@travismorgan3252]

I've been trying to figure out the hype for 3 years. I'm really impressed by her ability to read the text and care. I died 3 times and I was pretty much done with this game, lol.

[@Largentina.]

​@@travismorgan3252You gave up on a game after dying 3 times? Ok lol

[@travismorgan3252]

@@Largentina.yeah. I still think about picking it back up sometimes, but my experience was so negative and there wasn't much positive about it. If a game doesn't at least interest me a little bit after an hour, I'm probably not going to like it.

[@nsnick199]

You can tell the dedication to not backseat gaming by not telling her about the health she was dashing around while singing "I need health" @31:22 As always, another great watch from you two

[@DeliriumWartner]

This video doesn't have the same laughs but holy crap, watching her fall in love with the game is so joyful. I had a massive smile on my face the whole time. Don't worry mate, this video is gonna do great. Congrats on the nuptials, both of you!

[@Twistedsage42]

Watching somebody suffer from games is how lets plays started. Watching somebody enjoy a game is why they continue. Great show, mate.

[@Accidental.Creation]

Hades is just that good, man. Really impressive how she managed the Hydra, that thing took me quite a few runs to kill.

[@Khadharphak]

Hades bosses are always really fascinating cause I've heard so many accounts from other people where they'll have a brutal time with one boss and then the next will drop like a sack of potatoes and they're not sure why, I've had it too, where even bosses I've beaten so many times will suddenly give me a really hard time, and sometimes ones I find super hard normally I'll accidentally breeze through

[@ItsRand0mGG]

Seeing her enjoying the game so much, getting into it and progressively getting better and better, for me made this the best episode out of the series. Im genuinely hoping for a part 2

[@KokuryuXio]

This game is so accessible for a roguelite, yet still has the incredible challenge they're known for. I'm incredibly impressed how quickly she adapted to the combat, especially against Lernie. And congrats on the upcoming marriage, mate!

[@hteekay]

Seeing her enjoying this game makes me want to play it again

[@stancal9249]

Same! Legitimately was my first thought when the video ended.

[@gogauze]

I'm actually playing it, for the first time, right now! I've cleared a handful of runs, nearly maxed out the mirror, completed a few dozen minor prophesies, and got Megara's special.JUST in time to start turning up the Heat 🙂

[@Naterkix]

Personally, I really like Noobus finally finding something she _genuinely_ enjoyed. Sure, clueless flailing can be entertaining but seeing a basically-non-gamer find something the really clicks is fun to see too. Especially when it happens to be something so amazing like Hades.

[@matarax]

This was awesome; it was cool hearing your Fiancee talk about all the Greek mythology they put in the game but her singing Baby Shark while going through her last run was hilarious. Congratulations to you both!

[@Elliot_Green]

Would love to see a return to Hades at some point. It would be great to witness the Noobus Humanus reach the end. Also congrats to you both!

[@matts9871]

yeah!!

[@xelith6157]

Not gonna lie, as someone who really started gaming ~7 years ago (I always wanted to game but didn't really have the means to until my mid-teens) I still haven't beaten the game 50 hours in lol. I don't know if she would stick with it long enough to beat if, but she did, that would be incredible. I think it would feel great for her and I also really want her to react to the story and point out other lovely details in the designs :D

[@shikatsu]

Two things, the soundtrack is a great motivator, and second, the logic of the setting is a way to engage in the rogue-like elements, and that really is a help in this being my favorite game of its type even if it is not my favorite genre.

[@music_YT2023]

The muppet noises when Ares compliments Noobus made me laugh so hard!

[@liamboote225]

I hope if you ever do a Lore Dump or a critique of this we can hear more of her thoughts on the game and larger story.

[@Far_Dee]

This was an utter joy to watch.

[@wolfpack_104]

I'm not a big fan of the rouge genre, but Hades' rouge-lite elements on top of a story that kept me invested from start to finish made me stick with the game until I got the true good ending. Glad the Noobus enjoyed this one and I hope she gets to finish it one day. Also, congrats on the upcoming wedding!

[@rotciv557]

Inb4 a year from now, she stages a violent takeover of Lore Dump just so she can force Neil and Chase to listen to her talk about Hades for an hour.

[@iamjafooli]

Something about that first attempt at Meg was incredibly compelling. I've seen the fight a million times and yet was totally captivated and invested. Great stuff as ever!

[@charlotterosewood4170]

Its genuinely always a great time seeing you introduce her to something new and the fact that she loves this one is amazing. Also huge congrats on the wedding you guys are one of the cutest couples I've ever heard interact

[@ThunderJunkOC]

Honestly I like it better when she is having a blast and not being frustrated.

[@andycic.544]

22:36 Aw the instrumental of won't say I'm in love so cute and apropos!

[@Iymarra]

Big congrats on the (upcoming?) wedding, Monty and Mrs Monty. It was great to hear the enthusiasm for Hades from both of you - Supergiant are a special bunch. Hopefully the Noobus will play more of Hades even if off-camera, it's worth it!

[@lizabee484]

“*muppet noises*” and “Hello bud” were so unfairly adorable. Noobus is very badass and very cute in this video! So glad she had a good time! I’m also a Greek mythology buff and found the way Hades interpreted it to be really fantastic, so I’m glad she found a similar fascination there. AND OMG CONGRATULATIONS MAY THE WEDDING GO INCREDIBLY WELL AAAAAA!!!!

[@Kasumidemon]

I'm not surprised she grew to love this game. Supergiant is a wonderful studio and all of their games are gems, but this one is their best so far. Fluid combat, wonderful world and character design, great story elevated by amazing voice acting, it's just *chef's kiss* Cannot wait for Hades 2 to come out!

[@scillablue9672]

Thanks for that. My spouse played this a lot and I, same as your fiancé love greek mythology and was always takes peeks and stuff. We watched a lot of your Noobus Humanus vids and liked them all but for this I was really grateful because I was already intrigued and now even more so. I completely get why your fiancé liked it. I played rogue likes before but this really does looks fun and I do think I'm gonna give it a try now.

[@gadget2622]

Would absolutely watch a series of her completing hades. This was a great video!

[@sirdanzig4412]

I'm glad to see someone else sucked into Hades like I was. Also I absolutely love her accent, especially when she's excited. Just random vowel sounds made me almost spit out my coffee.

[@SonnyFRST]

That's Supergiant for ya, fuckers have nailed down the scientific component of Fun since Bastion. (they made a fantasy basketball game and it somehow worked)

[@poliyhurt]

Another great video. Now I want to go play Hades again.

[@Firefox22334]

I just finished my first time playing hades. Amazing game enjoyed my time playing excited for the next one.

[@evar.7093]

It's such a joy to hear/watch someone fall in love with a game. I'm huge believer in the idea that there's always a game out there for someone, they just need to find it. It was a treat to see this video and I hope your fiancee was able to dive back into Hades some more. I hope the two of you are able to explore and find more games that she (and/or both of you) will enjoy and fall in love with! Also, hope your wedding goes well and is everything the both of you dreamed it would be!

[@alicewonder259]

this video made me so happy for you both, especially by the end. thanks for the smile tonight

[@garetsilveira7940]

These are always so fun to watch! I wanna see her tackle a Zelda game. Maybe Ocarina of Time and have her get through the Deku Tree.

[@FredwardDrawn]

this is probably my favorite noobus humanus, it's so fun seeing her enjoy herself with the actual writing/art and then get cocky cus honestly she deserved it, i remember how brutal meg and asphodel in general was when i started playing hades. Plus the editing was awesome for this, the slow transformation through disney hercules songs was my favorite!!

[@notyourghostgamer]

Love the “Won’t Say I’m in Love” versions. They seemed to fit right in. Nice touch!

[@KrazyKain]

honestly its just as much fun watching her enjoy a game as it is get frustrated, good on Noobus for finding a game she truly loves

[@simonepreussner]

Even though Cult of the Lamb might not be the best Rogue-lite out there I find it very charming because of the art style and the cult leader stuff back at the camp. I am also always amazed seing your fiancee play - as a female who grew up being a gamer all my life (and being always surrounded by gamers) I love seing her discover gaming and liking some games more than others.

[@italianspiderman5012]

Yeah, I thin the cult of genocidal lamb is perfect for people relatively new to gaming, it’s just complex enough and the combat is easy to understand and not that hard to get the hang of it, plus it is cute.

[@Nikkelodeonn]

This was an absolute blast to watch through! It doesn’t always need to be yelling and / or panicing - just her truly enjoying the game was so much fun to watch. Awesome change of pace and I’ll be here for pt. 2 if she’s up for it. 😊

[@saxdude01]

I've been replaying Hades lately (over my new game backlog), and it's great to see the noobus take so well to this game on all fronts. This game is an absolute gem and one I will always recommend. Also congrats on the wedding, and here's to the two of you having many years together

[@McBehrer]

15:50 that's not QUITE true, you still unlock more, better items and weapons to discover in later runs, not to mention more characters to play as, shortcuts, etc.

[@docmarbles4369]

Congratulations on the ceremony, love that she fell in love with the game. I haven't played before but she really makes me want to play and got in her groove and was really killing it!

[@MaxArkantos]

I am completely and utterly enjoying the video. Seeingsomeone enjoying something i have loved this much, just plastered a wide smile on my face for the entire runtime. It really made my evening and i am so happy to have watched it. Thank you, so much.

[@ianhammock4564]

This is the only Let's Play-adjacent content I watch cuz not only do I get to hear some genuinely original thoughts on the games but it's also really, really funny. And congrats on getting married, man, that's really cool!

[@jaydonthewarrior636]

Do you think she's going to finish it? If she does I would love if you let us know. Not that I want it to be recorded, I'm honestly just interested in what she will think about the rest of the game.

[@MontyZander]

I’m honestly not sure. I caught her doing a run by herself when I was editing. But that was just the once and not going to follow up. I’ll be keeping it downloaded on the PlayStation though just in case!

[@matheuswillian516]

Here in Brazil, we have a meme, inspired by a TV show called: Chaves or El Chavo, in which a character says exactly what she said, but he says it wrong: "Vermelho significa PRE-RI-GO!" (in english red means danger or, translating the wrong way he says: red means DRAN-GER) 🤣

[@skdeathxlife]

I respect the Hercules ost in this

[@FoNgThOnG]

Congrats on the wedding! Totally enjoyed her take on why Hades is so damn great.

[@WhatTheFnu]

This was fantastic. It's so cool seeing people discover and really enjoy a game you like.

[@ah_dan6572]

This was my favourite one by a mile. Although it's fun seeing people get frustrated, seeing people geek out and enjoy a game is heartwarming and has left me with a right grin. Also, awesome editing/music in this one. Happy nupts!

[@Haveldorf]

This is easily one of the best videos you've made. Hades is such an incredible game, and it's amazing to watch anyone play it for the first time, but with the quality of your editing, informative and funny voiceover and, of course, the quality input of the noobus, it makes it an even greater experience. Congratulations on the wedding! I look forward to the next video.

[@gimonkey98]

Idk if I would call her a noob anymore at this point, you straight up made her into a GAMER! This was an awesome episode!

[@thalianox2492]

As a greek mythology lover myself, all of the small details on the gods designs makes me very happy

[@lucas_lipp]

That was such a great video. I love Hades so much, and it was a blast to see her actually enjoying the experience. I would absolutely watch a series of just her playing Hades. This was really entertaining, probably my favorite in the series.

[@merchantarthurn]

It really is telling that since the game is so well-designed when it comes to the rewards of death, it essentially removes any feeling of actual "failure" in the earlier runs - and that combined with all its other charming elements seems to have really made an impact here! My first time playing the game I found once I'd got past Meg I was getting deep into Elysium quite reliably since the hydra (especially earlier on) is a fairly easy boss so it was great to see her beat him too!! This was a very satisfying video to watch

[@zeigknoechelbruder]

I just found this series, and I gotta say it is one of the most entertaining on youtube. Love your dynamic too.

[@TheSkafei]

This was such a genuinely enjoyable video, it almost makes me want to boot the game back up and do a few more runs myself, her enthusiasm is that contagious !

[@TrulyVexed]

Just a joy to watch. I’ve watched twice now (and recommended to a few friends that weren’t sure on playing) and both times it’s made me want to play it all over again. Hoping the sequel does it justice!

[@Digggyyyyy]

This was really entertaining. Lovely to see her playing a game thematically tied to something she's interested in. If we could see more like that it'd be great

[@razmuz67]

Congrats on tying the knot! i would honestly watch a complete playthrough of her playing the game, i thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[@Roneish1996]

I would gladly watch her play this entire game story included until completion, very good seeing her grow just in this one video was a blast let alone imagining what it’d be like seeing her fight hades the first time or even before that fighting the bull and his pretentious friend whose name I forget.

[@Fandomnut]

I love rouge likes/lites! They're always so fun and it means I can experiment with diffrent builds, and figure out what weapons I really like. I'm also an artist and the art style and character design is SO nice, the writing is also amazing. This game holds a special place in my heart and I'm so happy to see someone playing it for the first time. I wish I could do that again

[@InkyDustMan]

Honestly, Hades is fascinating, because it manages to take a genre of games that's DESIGNED to be frustrating and the opposite of beginner friendly- And makes you absolutely fall in love with both the most infuriating parts, using, what I can only describe as- Pure creative candy- From the art, to the music, to the story, to just about every little nook and cranny of the game, it makes you want to jump back in for more again, and again, and again, even after your harshest attempts. And I wouldn't say it's beginner friendly, it is heavily RNG and luck based after all- ANYONE could find SOMETHING to love in this game. But what makes it special is that once it has it's hooks in, it will teach the player to love EVERYTHING else that's attached to it. I hesitate to use the word perfect, but it's honestly insane how much of this game can be described with one word- Butter. It is pure buttery delight to the ears, eyes and even brain. While also throwing in much needed spice to keep from getting stale. Maybe also a sprinkle of cocaine from Dionysus' stash- Shit's addicting after a big win.

[@waitingonamonabel]

This is the first time I've heard of this channel/series, and I'm so glad I came across it! Your dynamic as a couple is adorable (congratulations on the engagement and soon, marriage!) and I definitely feel like noobus because I'm not much of a gamer myself but Hades quickly became my favorite too.

[@sebmarvi2602]

I just found this channel and I absolutely loved it. Hades is one of my favorite games and it makes me super happy to see people enjoying it. Keep up the good content and congrats on the wedding. Also would love to see her play through the rest and see how she reacts to the full story.

[@stancal9249]

First of all, so excited for you two. Super exciting. Secondly, this was easily my favorite episode in this series. Sure, it's fun watching the Noobus questioning something that she's not getting because it's all new to her. But the childlike joy she's having cuz she's loving it so much is just infectious. I had a big dumb grin when she asked if she could play more. I'd legit watch a whole let's play of her with this, even though i know thats not the channel. Doesnt hurt that i also adore Greek mythology, multi headed doggos, this sensational art style/writing, and just this brilliant game in general. Also, the Disney remixes in the background were excellent. My favorite Michael Rat film and has such a bangin soundtrack.

[@sailorpaulino]

Her laughter of PURE JOY after meeting Ares is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@allos343]

[@LongRest]

Hades has crazy good design. I'm not surprised that she understood it so quickly. Great video!

[@ahetzel9054]

That was fantastic, it made me feel like I was playing it for the first time again because her reactions to everything were pretty much my reactions to everything. I'm not a huge rogue like/lite fan but hades has made me more open to trying these types of games, but never have I ever found one that delighted me as much as this. Can't wait for Hades 2!!!!!!

[@arabidllama]

There's no need for anger to be engaging - your deep explanation of *why* the frustration isn't there is what matters. Hades is a masterwork in deflecting negative energy into forward momentum

[@dancingdiplodocus3209]

Seems like she picked it up pretty quick honestly. Hades writing is so good...the attention to detail is great as well if you know your stuff about greek mythology, very easy to be charmed by this game imo

[@ryanager8029]

I think one of the things that makes Hades SO. different from other Rogue-Lites and Likes is that there’s real purpose to the downtime between runs. It’s where the story happens, it’s where more than half the characters are. The moment to moment gameplay is top notch, but part of the excitement in Hades is in picking up a titan’s blood in the Temple and thinking “ I can’t wait to get back to the house and unlock/upgrade a new Aspect!”

[@MossOwnsYouYT]

I love that after Ares she clearly had preferences to some gods boons over others. I am glad to see her get really into this one as Hades is one of my favorite all time titles. If she actually plays more of this I would love a part 2 as she works toward Hades. When Hades 2 comes out I believe she will be quite pleased.

[@davidryatta701]

I loved my time with Hades.. i didn't get to the point of having enough until quite a while after the tenth completion, I didn't have the time to go for the long haul, but I loved what i got from the game lore wise and egearly anticipate Hades 2

[@nathanbrown7165]

I loved this video, definitely my favorite of the lot. Her genuine enjoyment of the game was way more fun to watch. It also probably helped that I too love Hades despite not liking the rogue like genre. 10 out of 10 video.

This is the best Noobus Humanus video we've gotten so far, it's so great hearing her having full on fun for once and complimenting Hades
